The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux) - Page 131

I think that's what everyone was saying about Monica when he broke the story about that, too.

Have I ever told you that you remind me of Drudge?

Scrooge McSam · 10-05-2006, 07:01 AM

Yes... way too many times. But you seem to enjoy it, so carry on.

How do you feel about Drudge publicizing the name of the young man allegedly involved in the first reported IM session with Foley?

Do you consider that honorable behavior?

SacTown Chronic · 10-05-2006, 07:05 AM

The party of 9/11 is upset that the Dems are trying to make political hay with the Foley situation. Maybe Rove's October surprise will cheer them up.

(Or are we in the middle of the October surprise right now but we don't know it yet? I, for one, have forgotten all about the occupation of Iraq.)

Oh, and Drudge felches young boyz*.

There is buzz that Hasert will resign this week. Interesting...

And the award for biggest over reaction to a statistically insignificant threat goes to....Frank Lasee of the Wisconsin state legislature! Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of schools in this country with millions of students. 2 or 3 schools have shootings. The obvious next step is to start arming teachers! Hooray!

"Underage" page was 18

Huh- sounds more and more like a dirty October surprise to me.

Gee- I wonder what party to blame for that?

Alex · 10-05-2006, 09:05 AM

Unless the initial reporting has been wrong and these explicit emails and IMs are over three years old then this (if true) has to be a different page than the one over which the story broke.

That's certainly the spin Rush and Drudge are putting on it. It's complete garbage but I guess they will just keep throwing stuff at the wall and hope something sticks.

First, he's an alcoholic, then he's a victim of molestation, then he's gay, then, according to Fox, he's a democrat, then it's an evil democratic ploy, then it was just a prank, then he wasn't really underage. Not to mention, first Hastert remembers hearing about this, then he doesn't, then he does.

C'mon, you guys can't even get your story straight. The republicans own this problem and they can try to push it off on the dems but I don't think people are going to be so gullible this time. I could be wrong, of course.

Thank god y'all signed that "Contract with America" to bring ethics back to washington. With 4. soon to be 5 indicted representatives of your party, it's obviously going quite well.

Spin?

So, if it turns out the page (not another one- but the one everyone has been talking about-but nice try Alex)was 18 or over- we are supposed to call that spin?

Sorry- but it is the dems who are throwing shyt until something sticks. The party of "it's just sex, it's private" expects to destroy the republican party with this increasingly fabricated story about what else? Sex.

pathetic....but typical of a political party with NOTHING to offer.

The dem party doesn't know diddly about ethics-

It was definitely a timed October surprise. A blog is created out of whole cloth, posts a few plagiarized items, gets this material, posts it, spams all the news channels, and hasn't been updated since.

But then, there is nothing wrong with October surprises, really. That's the game they're all playing and there is a wonderful defense against them:

Don't do stupid ****ing ****!

That's the response to all the politicians who do some stupid ****, have it used against them to their opponents advantage and then tries to call shenanigans. I may not like the people who pulled the trigger but that doesn't get the politican off the hook.
